Rachel put Lila in her bedroom to sleep so that when she had to wake her up for the flight in the morning she would be there. She went downstairs to get a drink.
"Why aren't you with your love of your life?" Leroy said.
"We are taking things slow. We are just on a friends base now."
"I can't believe you are going to ruin your life all over again with him."
"Can we not do this? Lila deserves a father and Finn is not a bad person."
"Rachel you may live in New York and not see him all the time. But when I'm driving to work I see him walking his sorry behind home from the bar. I'm sure that is where he is now. I don't know what it is going to take for you to wake up and realize that he is a loser."
"He may be a loser but he was always my loser and I am not giving up on him."
"Sometimes I don't know who raised you cause I sure didn't raise you to be the supporter of a lowlife."
"But you raised me to love everyone and not judge people."
"Some people don't deserve second chances or a tenth chance like you are giving."
"I've had it with you doubting Finn."
Rachel went upstairs and started gathering stuff together. She tried to call Finn but there was no answer. She texted Kurt and asked him if he minded if she stayed there till they boarded their flight in the morning. She picked up Lila and started downstairs.
"Where do you think you're going?" Leroy asked.
"To sleep at Kurt's till we go back to New York."
"You aren't taking Lila with you if you're leaving now she is sleeping."
"She was sleeping till you started shouting…and I can take her she is my daughter."
Kurt had Burt's truck and was waiting in the driveway.
"Where is the car?" Rachel asked.
"Where ever Finn is. He didn't come home yet."
"You have got to be kidding me. If this night wasn't bad enough. He promised me."
They pulled up to the house. Lila had fallen back asleep on the ride. Kurt helped her carry the stuff in the house.
"Rachel, honey you can lay Lila in Burt and I's room that is where she normally naps when I watch her." Carole said when Rachel walked in the door.
Rachel came back out from lying Lila in the bed.
"I'm so tempted to go jump down Finn's throat because I'm already mad but it's not my place." Rachel said.
"Yes it is Rachel. He threw a fit today that you kept Lila a secret and didn't know why you would. He is expected to be a good father now." Kurt said.
"No he isn't expected to do anything. I told him he has a choice. I don't expect him to be a dad if he isn't ready to be."
"Well he is going to be! He sat here this morning and told me how he needed to fix his life with you and was going to do anything to make it that way." Burt said.
"Rachel, I swear you are the only one who can talk to any sense into him. I've tried so many times." Carole said almost sounding defeated.
"Carole will you take care of Lila if she wakes up Finn and I need to have a talk." Rachel said.
"Of course."
Finn was sitting at the bar and was feeling the effects of the day of being stressed. "One more drink and I'm going to get going."
"Already Finn? It is early for you."
"I'm tired and already feeling like I'm going to fall asleep."
Rachel pulled into the bar. She was going in with a force. She sat down beside Finn.
"Hi there." She said.
"Rachel what are you doing here? I dropped you off at home."
" I could ask you the same thing. I thought you told me you wouldn't go to the bar anymore. You promised me."
"Yeah well you lied to me. It takes a lot to find out you're a father."
The bartender walked over. "Can I get you anything?"
"Whiskey. For me and Finny here."
"Rachel you have a child to take care of you can't be sitting here drinking with me."
"You have a kid to take care of too."
"I can't be a father. How am I supposed to do that I never even had one."
"That's funny I never had a mother yet I buckled down and decided I'd be one. Then because some boy I loved ran away and left me I didn't get that choice."
"That's not fair I didn't know."
"You didn't let me tell you. Here take a shot with me." She said.
"Rachel quit it. I don't want to have to take care of you when you're wasted."
Rachel started laughing. "I use to tell myself the same thing when I saw you a couple months ago. But since we are both old now I see your fun in it."
Finn pulled her drink away from her. "You don't need this you need to go home and go to bed. You have a flight in the morning."
Rachel pulled her drink back and pulled Finn's too. "I can do what I want. I'm a big girl. You're not my boss Finn Hudson."
"You're really irritating me woman. I know I'm not your boss but I care if something happens to you when you have to drive home."
"Good cause you're not getting rid of me. Our daughter is sleeping at your house as we speak. My dad started talking about how I am stupid to think that you will change so I left cause I know the guy I love would never let me down again cause he already made that mistake before."
Rachel took another shot.
"I said I was sorry."
"Cool. Are you going to drink with me or not?"
"Rachel stop it! I get it okay."
"What you don't want me as a drinking partner? How rude is that?"
"No, I just don't want to see you drink cause you're stressed. You don't even like to drink."
Rachel just looked at him and smiled till he got the point. "But anyways want to take a shot with me now?"
"Ugh woman you're such a pain. Come on we are going home."
"That's alright you go ahead I'm just gonna sit here and relax."
"Rachel let's go. I had one drink before you got here and that is all I planned on."
"Finn you ruin all the fun."
Finn rolled his eyes and he watched Rachel stumble up and out of the bar stool at first.
Rachel pulled in after Finn. He waited for her to get out of the truck so that they could walk in together. Kurt just glared at Finn when they sat down on the couch.
"Finn, sometimes I truly wonder how anyone puts up with you. Let alone Rachel." Burt said.
"I got the point okay. I'm sorry I went to the bar."
"You know you're allowed to go to the bar. But not to hide out from your problems." Carole said.
Rachel hiccupped. "I told you that you were getting drunk." Finn said.
"I need to sleep. Mind if I sleep in your den Burt?" she asked.
"You can sleep in my bed. I will sleep on the couch." Finn said.
"Are you sure?"
"Just do it."
"Finn don't be mean to her." Carole said.
"I'm never mean to her. If you would have seen her making a joke of herself at the bar you would be disappointed in her too."
"It's funny how it's okay when you have been doing it for months." Kurt said.
"Yeah well I don't have a life or other people to worry about other than myself."
"Well that is a total lie but good night all." Rachel said.
"How was I ever in love with you? I really wonder some days." Finn said.
Rachel didn't turn around she just continued into the bedroom.
"I really don't understand why you hate her when you drink." Carole said.
"What is ...there to...like?" Finn said as he passed out.
